CGRP + weight gain

Hi yall,

Ajovy has been a miracle drug except for the 30+ lbs I've gained in 12 months. :( I've been counting calories and have a physical job but my clothes I've had for 7 years aren't fitting anymore.

My question for anyone else who has had excessive weight gain with a CGRP is: has your doctor/neurologist/etc had a recommendation for you? Or is it a shrug and deal side effect? Has anyone tried a different medication and had less weight gain?

I know there probably isn't a solution but if any has advice for how to deal with this beyond just deal with it, I'd appreciate it.

Edit: Don't have time to reply to everyone but I sincerely appreciate your responses!
